I weighed myself this morning, I gained 2 pounds. I really don't know what I did wrong... Here are my points for the last week:
Wednesday: 25 points
Thursday: 24 points
Friday: 28 points
Saturday: 24 points
Sunday: 22.5 points
Monday: 24 points
Tuesday: 24 points


I'm daily allowed 24 points. Actually I'm allowed up to 29 points, but I've chosen to stay in 24. Can someone tell me if I did something wrong? Or maybe it's water retention?

Sugar,
There are a variety of things that can "go wrong" and we gain.
Water retention is a major culprit is sodium----one of mine because I drink too many diet drinks @ day.
Exercise --doing a lot a day or just some every day can build up muscle that will weigh more.
TOM -- need I say more
Food selection --even if we're within pt. rainge, we didn't eat enough 0 pt. veggies & 1 pt. fruits
Just one of those weeks --sometime it just happens, which isn't what we want to hear.

I hope this helps ya,
Tina

What's TOM??

I weighed myself again after about an hour cos I ate some salty pretzels the night before and I thought to give my body a little more time cos of water retention. I weighed the same as 1 week before, I didn't lose anything but didn't gain the 2 pounds. Which weight is the right one?? Well, I won't get paranoid about this, I guess I'll have to see next week.

TOM is "that time of month"
It's always best to weigh the same time, the same day each week. That gives you an accurate view on what's happened in a week's time.
Hope all this has helped you, Sugar_Cane.

I hope everyone has a great day and a good weigh in.

I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already! I don't think I want to weigh. lol I've done good on everything, but it's just that feeling. You know what I mean?

[Tina]

I was hoping for good news tomorrow. Tonight, I have this feeling that the scales won't be nice to me.
Good luck!

Thank you a lot Tina. I put it behind me already, I'm focusing on today and tomorrow, not yesterday.

Good for you sugar cane!!
By the way gang, I'm leaving in the morning to meet some friends in Chicago. I'll be home Monday afternoon. Have a great weekend!!!

[Tina]

Hi,
It's about that time to get on the scales. I'm gonna do it this week. I don't think I'll have lost anything.

Good luck to everyone.

[sugar_cane]

Down 4 lbs. Just hope that my home scales are reliable.


good luck to everyone!

[Tammy]

WOW!! 4 pounds is super! Way to go!!

[Tammy]

My scales are going in the wrong direction. I'm up another pound this morning. TOM will be coming soon. Maybe that's the reason.

Hope the rest of you do great!!

[Tina]

Hi All,
Sugar, 4 pounds gone is fantastic!!!
Tammy, just one pound will come off in a couple of days.
Would y'all believe, I forgot to weigh this morning! Yes, I did. I took my car to get the brakes fixed. I had that on my mind. I'll weigh tomorrow.
